Descendants of William Bond

Generation No. 4

7. ROBERT⁴ BOND (JOHN³, WILLIAM², WILLIAM¹) was born 25 October 1792 in VA ¹⁹, and died 20 January 1856 in Owen Co., KY¹⁹. He married ELIZABETH SALE November 1811 in Gallatin, KY ²⁰, daughter of ROBERT SALE and JANE HORD. She was born Abt. 1785 in Caroline, VA ²¹, and died Bef. 1860 in Owen Co., KY ²².

Notes for ROBERT BOND:
      Robert Bond was the first born of John Bond and Molly Sale. He was born on 25 Oct 1792 , although for some reason he is listed as 61 years of age in the 1850 Census of Owen Co., KY. The family was living in Spotsylvania Co., VA at the time, although by 1796, they had come to Scott Co., KY, and by 1803 finally to Gallatin Co., KY. He would have been about 4 years old during the long trip from Virginia into Kentucky.

      He married Elizabeth Sale, b. 1786 , who was the daughter of Robert Sale and Jenny Hord, lifetime friends and companions of the John Bonds. Elizabeth was born either in Caroline Co., VA, the ancestral home of her branch of the Sale family, or Spotsylvania Co., VA, where her father is found purchasing land on 2 Oct 1787 . The marriage of Robert Bones (sic) and Betsy Sail (sic) is recorded in Nov 1811 in Gallatin Co., KY. Robert Bond received a value of $600 from the estate of Robert Sale, his father-in-law in 1813 .

      Robert made no purchases of land in Gallatin Co. during the first years of his life. As the eldest son of John Bond, he apparently inherited his father's acerage on Two Mile Creek - apparently because John Bond left no will giving the land to Robert, but we find that the same parcel eventually descended without recorded deed to James F. Bond, son of Robert .

Notes for ELIZABETH SALE:
DOB: 1850 Census, Owen Co., KY, p 235
DOM: Gallatin Co., KY minister returns, 1811
Elizabeth is the daughter of Robert Sale and Jennie Hoard, according to Kathryn
Salyers, Carrollton, KY. However, the only Robert Sales that I know in
Caroline Co. are the father of Mary Sale (the mother-in-law of this Elizabeth)
which Robert died by 1779, and brother of Mary Sale, who married Ann Broadus
in Caroline Co. in 1794.


Children of ROBERT BOND and ELIZABETH SALE are:

28.	i.	JANE A.⁵ BOND, b. 1812, Scott, KY; d. Unknown.
29.	ii.	GEORGE GRANVILLE BOND, b. 29 October 1814, Scott, KY; d. 22 February 1883, Owen, KY.
30.	iii.	ROBERT S. BOND, b. Abt. 1819, New Liberty, Owen, KY; d. 1866, Owen, KY.
	iv.	ELIZABETH BOND, b. Bet. 1820 - 1825; d. Unknown.

Notes for ELIZABETH BOND:
Elizabeth Bond b. 1820/1825, Owen Co., KY; d. 1840/1850, Owen Co., KY. A grave next to Robert Bond (9), William Bond (42), Sophia Bond (wife of Robert S. Bond, #41) and Sophia's unmarried daughter Mary, is marked Elizabeth Bond (no dates) . This Elizabeth may have been a daughter in this family, as the household of Robert Bond in 1840 showed one female 15-20 years old, who could not be Jane, since Jane had already married in 1830 . The census is the basis for her birthdate, above. By 1850, she does not appear in the family , nor has she appeared as a bride in Owen Co., records , so she probably died, unmarried, between 1840 and 1850.

WILLIAM BOND, b. 26 August 1826, New Liberty, Owen, KY; d. 14 February 1870, New Liberty, Owen, KY.

Notes for WILLIAM BOND:
never married, but was guardian for many, accumulated land and wealth, provided mortgages to relatives

43. William Bond b. 26 Aug 1826. William Bond seems to have never married. In the 1860 Census , he is found living alone, but as a farmer with an estate valued at over $9000, in close proximity to James F. Bond, his brother, George Granville Bond, another brother, and Fleetwood Sale, his uncle.

He was appointed guardian of the children of his sister (Robert W. Craigmyle, Mary Frances Craigmyle, Ann E. Craigmyle, Dallas Craigmyle, and John James Craigmyle) in Jun 1853 with his brother Robert as surety . He further petitioned for the dower of his sister Jane, who had just remarried _____ Lyons . On 18 Feb 1867, he was appointed guardian of Marinda Jackson, George Granville Bond surety . On 18 Mar 1867, he was appointed administrator of his brother Robert's estate, James F. Bond, surety .

By 1870, he is not in the census. His grave, next to those of his mother and father, has a death date of 14 Feb 1870.

1860 census, Owen Co., KY, p.177, film 0,803,391: William Bond 32 Farmer 5250 4000 KY, living alone (but with large estate, as befits the first born).

8. WILLIAM⁴ BOND (JOHN³, WILLIAM², WILLIAM¹) was born 09 September 1793 in VA ²³, and died 12 January 1863 in Ghent, Carroll, KY²³. He married HARRIET SCOTT 18 November 1819 in Ghent, Gallatin, KY ²⁴, daughter of JOHN SCOTT and JANE SNEED. She was born 01 May 1798 in Caroline, VA ²⁵, and died 18 January 1863 in Ghent, Carroll, KY²⁵.

Notes for WILLIAM BOND:
      William Bond, the second son of John Bond, was born 9 Sep 1793 . At this time, the John Bond family was still in Virginia, probably Spotsylvania Co, near Fredericksburg. As a boy, he travelled with his father, mother and brother Robert first to Scott Co., KY in 1795/1796, and second to Gallatin Co., KY (later to become Owen Co.) in 1803.

      According to a biography of William's son Robert L. Bond , William was a "soldier of the war of 1812, in Col. Dick Johnson's regiment." Richard M. Johnson commanded a regiment of Kentucky militia consisting mostly of men from eastern Kentucky during the war of 1812, and is sometimes credited with killing the Indian commander Tecumseh. A William Bond, "Trumpeter", is listed in the roll of Johnson's regiment, Allen A. Hamilton's company . No federal pension file for William Bond exists, even though he lived past pension legislation, presumably because he was not in the regular army, but in the state militia.

      On 18 Nov 1819, William Bond married Harriet Scott, the daughter of Rev. John Scott, the Baptist preacher in the area . Rev. Scott had joined William's father John and Johanna Holladay in marriage in 1813, but this day, the honors were performed by Henry Morgan.

      On 1 Jan 1823, John Scott deeded to William Bond, "for and in consideration of an intermarriage with his daughter Hariat Scott, and for several good offices, and for the further consideration of one dollar", 184 acres on Stephen's Creek and McCool's Creek in Gallatin Co., KY (later to become Carroll Co.). It may not be a coincidence that at the time, Harriet was four month's pregnant with John Scott's grandson. McCool's Crrek parallels the Ohio River near Carrollton, KY. Stephen's Creek is located just east of Ghent. The property would have probably been located some 4-5 miles up Stephen's Creek on the current Sharon-Black Rock road, nearly on the border of Gallatin and Carroll Counties. The house shown in figure ___ is described as the house in which Robert L. Bond was born (1836) would have been built by William and Harriet on this property. Indeed, the syle of the house (late federal) would indicate a construction date of the 1820's, when William and Harriet had moved there.

      In 1829, William and Harriet purchased another 55 acres on Stephen's Creek from John Sanders and wife, a plot presumably adjacent to the first .

      William Bond died 12 Jan 1863. Harriet died six days later, 18 Jan 1863. His will mentions a grandson, James B. Lindsay, son of his daughter Mary Jane Bond and John C. Lindsay; Mary Jane had died previously in 1855. The will also mentions "my children: John C. Bond, James A. Bond, Benj. F. Bond, and Robert L. Bond." His will further states "If my son Rob't L. Bond, who is now absent from home in the army, should not live to get home or until peace is restored to our distracted country or until his term of service expires, I direct that such portion of my estate as is herein bequeather unto him, shall be equally divided and distrubuted among my three other children." Robert L. Bond had enlisted in the Confederate cavalry in 1862, and did make it home.
      The William Bond estate consisted of the land, 4 horses, a yoke of oxen, 21 sheep, a buggy and 7 slaves , in addition to household furniture .

      The 1840 Carroll Co., KY census lists the six sons and four daughters. Therefore, one son and two daughters are as yet unknown.

film 7985). Fought in Col. Dick Johnson's Regiment in the War of 1812

Place of birth: Jane Sneed (Harriet's mother) was from Caroline Co., VA and

SAMUEL⁵ BOND, b. 1820, Gallatin, KY; d. Unknown.

Notes for SAMUEL BOND:
A Samuel is listed in the biography of Robert L. Bond (his brother) in Memoirs of the Lower Ohio Valley, Federal Pub. Co, Madison, WI, 1905. This information was taken directly from Robert L. Bond, who was still alive at the time, and so would have been a brother that he remembered growing up. However, no Samuel Bond of this age is recorded in the area, and by 1863, he has died, and is not mentioned in his father's will.
